I definately want to see Healy/Gil.
To begin, I thought it was kind of a joke that Healy was the BEST title contender Strikeforce had to offer Gil(but still believe he earned the title shot) and even thought that he lost the Hirota bout by decision, but Gil & Healy been matched up twice now, with two cancelled fights due to Gil's injuries(the second of which I'm a tad incredulous of) and IMO, it was something of a reprieve for Gil, because Healy is such a sleeper.
I think there's something of a stigma attached to Gil having bowed out of two fights with Healy and I'd like to see him put it to bed with a win against Healy before he gets a title fight. Having Gil defend the SF title on a UFC card would be a "title fight" they can promote and unveil Gil to the UFC casuals.
Make no mistake, Gil would be the heavy favourite, however I think Healy is a helluva out for him and I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Healy pulled it out.
